From a symbolic perspective this serves as an illustration of what can and must be done on a more frequent basis across our country. Communicate, partner, align and work toward growing the game together based on the same core values we all share. I feel stronger about this now more than ever… The work the Foundation, it’s board and the many generous donors that support the Foundation’s mission each year must be commended by every rugby enthusiast in America. 1000s of youth rugby players benefit from the much needed support provided by the Foundation. Lastly, congratulations to each of the inductees and ‘thank you’ for all you’ve done for the game of rugby in our country!”The U.S. Rugby Hall of Fame Class of 2018 includes past U.S. Eagle players Gary Lambert, Mike Saunders and Alexandra “Alex” Williams; former U.S. Eagles and OMBAC head coach, Reldon “Bing” Dawson; former U.S. Men’s National Team physician, Dr. John Chase; pioneering referee, the late Denis Shanagher Sr.; and long-serving rugby administrator, Don Haider.Congratulations to the Class of 2018 who are joining the 54 who have already been inducted into the U.S. Rugby Hall of Fame.
